About Edna
Edna Sanders is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience helping people manage strong emotions and life changes. She practices in Indiana and focuses on issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. Her work is practical and steady, aimed at reducing day-to-day overwhelm and improving coping skills.
Edna uses straightforward conversations to identify what feels most urgent. She listens, asks plain questions, and helps people notice patterns that fuel difficult reactions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building to handle anger, stress, and relationship strain more effectively. Her background includes long experience with grief, addiction, caregiver stress, and multicultural concerns. That experience informs how she tailors support for someone dealing with loss, role changes, or career stress.
She pays attention to how identity and past hurts affect present behavior. Edna draws on several practical approaches, including client-centered work, cognitive behavioral tools, dialectical behavior strategies, and mindfulness practices. She uses these to help people change unhelpful thinking, manage strong emotions, and practice calmer responses.
People who benefit most tend to want clear, doable steps and a calm, honest therapist to walk alongside them. Edna helps people set goals, try new coping skills, and track small changes over time. The focus is on usable tools that fit everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the client’s lead to build insight and self-direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and teaches concrete strategies to change thinking and behavior, which can ease anger, anxiety, and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Edna will work with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. Together they try strategies, notice what helps, and adjust the plan based on real progress and feedback.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls let people talk face-to-face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer quick access for brief updates, skill reminders, or ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy going around work, family, or other obligations.
